Went to my chai For the first time. Had Karak chai. Which was very good. Not too much sweet. Next i had panipuri. Which was below average. Wont recommend to anyone. Not flavourful at all. The ambience was very nice. Good mood lighting and aesthetics

Visited for the first time while the half price on breakfast was on- definitely come back again. The food was really fresh and hot when it came to the table. Tea was hot and came with the meal, unlock other places that serve it first. Chana really tasty too. The best I’ve had in Coventry so far. My children loved the food too. Good service from Abdul the staff member who served us- thank you

Absolutely loved the desi breakfast and chai here!. The parathas are perfectly crispy with delicious fillings, and the chai has the perfect blend of spices and aroma — comforting, bold, and full of warmth. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the whole experience feels cozy and authentic. Highly recommended for anyone craving real desi breakfast and a great cup of chai!”
